I’ve got a Five Star 27798 Dubow in veg tan crystal goatskin coming. My first A2. Until recently I’ve never cared for the A2 look, but lately I’m just loving it. Tastes change I suppose, sometimes even overnight.

The one I remember crying when I listed to it was "Mein guter Kamerad". I dont like listening to that song any more...

Well, I placed an order with them for a Size 42 27798 in veg tanned crystal Goat. Excited to see how my first experience with them will turn out. I’ll post a picture here once it arrives. Not too worried about it being too tight, for example I’ve got a wool winter coat with a chest 1cm smaller...

Does anyone here have a picture to share of a FS in crystal brown veg. goatskin?

Thanks! I’m planning to get the 27798. My actual shoulder width is about 44cm, so the closest size they offer is 42 which has 44,5cm shoulders. Would that be accommodating enough? Next size up is 45,5cm.

Has somebody here ordered a Dubow from them in the past and can give some pointers for sizing?

I’m planning on ordering one of their Dubow A2s in goatskin and am looking for some input regarding sizing. I’ve already mailed FS about the fit and am waiting for a response, but a second opinion never hurts. I’m looking for a classic, relaxed fit. Similar to how the originals fit. I wanna be...

Just my personal opinion. I believe that we either already posses the necessary tech to deal with a serious asteroid should one become a problem, or that "others" will deal with it for us if its sufficiently dangerous. Either way if it ever became necessary chances are we would never even know...

Against asteroids/comets there are a few viable solutions: Change the objects trajectory/orbit enough so that it misses earth. This can be accomplished by detonations in close proximity to the object or an impactor (effectively "pushing" it). For this to be effective it requires data of the...

Just bought this Coat on the bay, dont know anything about it. Label says: G. B. Conte wool mill since 1757 in Schio (Italy) Pure virgin wool Brand is evidently "SALCO". Does anyone know anything about the brand or how old the coat might be? Looks 60s to me. Is it a good score? I Paid €80.

It arrived today, here is a shot of the label: Unfortunately it turned out to be a UK 7 1/4, so the hat is two sizes too big rather then only one as I had hoped. So ill probably be selling it on eventually. Beautiful condition tho.

It is definitely a rubber smell. If its truly the rubber itself then like you said the ozone would only work temporarily. I will try it with the vinegar first.

I bought a rubber rain coat from 1962. Its an unissued army coat. The coat was never worn but stinks (!) to high hell. Even after wiping down the inside and outside the smell persists. Outside of buying an ozone generator is there anything I can do? Is it simply the old rubber outgassing?

Thanks. Once it arrives Ill take a picture of the label.

Just purchased this one, hasn’t arrived yet. Any idea on how old it might be?
